a bunch of the WM/H guys were thinking or are starting Firestorm Armada fleets. Did anybody here play it yet, or is interested in jumping in? So far it seems there would be 6+ people interested / buying stuff.

I have no clue unfortunately. One guy played it at Warstore Weekend and said it was quite sweet. I just ordered a starter set. Will see how the rules are and may be able to compare it to BFG (which I played once).
